A number of popular famous faces have been teased as part of the line-up, including Chloe Burrows, Michaela McCollum and Troy Deeney.

And without exposing too much of what happens on the programme, Billy has hinted at what fans can expect when it returns.

In an exclusive chat with The Sun, Billy said: "I think the surprises for sure, cause you'll see the line up and you go 'he?', 'she?'

"Like everybody does and then you'll go... Oh, actually, wow!

"There's a there's a few woah moments, let me tell you.

"Yeah, few people, unfortunately, do get injured and have to leave which people will be a little bit sad about, because they'll be rooting these people on.

"But there's some definite surprises where you go... where did that just come from? How did he she do that?"

He added: "I always say every time we do it. It's the best show we've done, and it is. every time we do it, it gets better.

"And the reason that is is because we actually take the ethos of the special forces. And every time we do a job we don't look at... That was a great job, that was successful.

"We go: how could we have done that better?

"What do we need to change, to make the visual, the physical, whatever it might be.

"So every time we go forward we've got those new ingredients we added to the next one.

"So anybody come in on the next one.

"You're in for a hard time physically, mentally and emotionally."
